Just say he's the best, let's not argue.
We see whatchu did there 💪
Who's touching him, seriously? Ka, Elucid, Busdriver, Milo, Aesop Rock come close, but Billy's still top of the heap imho.
@@tamvosper7388 very tight race.
@@malcolmnotinthemiddle After the RTJ4 drop it would probably be a sin of omission to not include El and Killer Mike in that list as well. And they've earnt their respective stripes over the years as well, but RTJ4 is the best of Run the Jewels yet.
@@tamvosper7388 IMO billy, Ka, Roc, and Mach are all on the top tier. Ka's def my favorite.They're all the best at what they do
Respect woods with the Hommy shirt
Genius shirt, i thought it was Tommy 😂
What a run you've had in the 10's billy.. may it long continue!
it's WOODS 🔥
It continued.

@@AJandWrmyinitials Lol he really did that
WOODS WEARING MACH MERCH 😭😭 my goats 🔥🔥
They did a feat together...
That song was so cool and so dope!
the one dislike is from western education
Two months later and still only one dislike. Awesome.
@@cozmikoi the second dislike from southwestern education
7 months later still two dislikes.
Yet people from Africa, India and China come here for education🤔
Damn they used their alt account
From that Biggie line flip at the beginning, you know it's gonna be killer. Billy never disappoints.
“shorty can’t eat no book what I told Ta-Nehisi Coates” ….WOW !!! 🔥🔥🔥 great freaking line!
The hook's opening couplet alone is a masterclass in razor-sharp political irony: 'Told my children western education is forbidden / Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin' is a devilishly astute lyric.
@@tobtob831 First off the irony is already incredibly apparent by the character telling his children Western education is forbidden, as given the surrounding context it would certainly seem that the setting is in the 'Western' world somewhere. This irony is underlined by the knowingness that in shunning Western education his children will be invariably hamstrung by the prevailing hegemonic order. Presumably, given their parental admonition to reject Western education, the children are probably perceived of as disruptive, attention-deficient misfits by the school authorities/health professionals, who subsequently prescribe them Ritalin in order to pacify them. The father character, in his ready awareness of this situation, then very cynically recommends they sell their meds in order to make some money - to get on that grind, as it were. Thus the children find themselves in the fatalistic position of a self-fulfilling failure.
@@tamvosper7388 loool bro you need to relaaax
@@MavDillain I'm good man - somebody asked for my interpretation of the line, I gave it to them, simple as that really. Trust me, I wouldn't have gone to school on that shit without being prompted.
@@tamvosper7388 you coulda used less words is what I'm saying.
I could probably write an entire essay on this song if I had to - I thought my interpretation was pretty concise. Shit man, I wrote a Master's thesis on the poetry of Wallace Stevens, I almost can't help being analytical when it comes to verse. Just sayin'.
i have been sleeping,. i'm in luv with billy woods man
Zimbabwe Stand up!!!
song of the year off possibly the best album I listened to this year (it's a toss up with hiding places)
He did it again
Peace to the Nigerian People ✌ Its all love.
Prolly one of the best songs I’ve listen to when throwing the lyrics to someone hahahaha
Glad I happened across this guy
leon lett me drive, dope af
Really appreciate the South African references.
@@sciencethegospelaccordingt6031 there is no white genocide. Please stop spreading misinformation.
Please go away
@@joelontong7449 I hope every white person in SA leaves.
Great video. But I can't help but feel like some of woods' songs would be better served by videos that show the vivid stories woods tells. Case in point. Western Education is Forbidden almost always calls for me to imagine each line in my head with each listen. Would have loved to see a director's impression of this one.
100% agree with you, but realistically Backwoodz probably doesn't have the budget for much more than this.
I feel what he saying but I’m not seeing what he’s say my vernacular is not up to pare, what can I do to help my comprehension skills? Please and that you
Anyone peep that he's wearing a Mach Hommy shirt? Was super surprised to go back and realize that he was a feature on this album
One of the cleanest lyricists and one of the most unique
Thank you Can Ox for introducing us to billy woods
Released two of my joint favourite albums of 2019. Great vid.
Ce son est magnifique
“Shorty can’t eat no book” what I told ta nahisi coates
Mama Africa opening for Paul Simon.
Dope line.
Thinker
one of my favorite woods cuts
Favorite rapper right now

Dope as always !! We need a repress of this one or a restock please hhv doesn't have enough stock but Europe love Blackwoodz so much 😊🙏 mad love
one of woods coldest ones I think. so glad there’s a music video.
Lyrics:
My advice, don't stop rhymin', UPS not hirin'
And this ain't the glory days, you can't get consignment
It's Top Ramen, it's Boko Haram
It's non-violence in Afrikaans
That's three round burst firin'
It's Miriam Mekeba openin' for Paul Simon
Rufaro stadium, pull up in the blue Renault
All the ministers have Mercedes, or the new Peugeot
That's when you kinda know, it's that kinda show
They the type, hit your blunt, just let the run go
I'd rather come through your front door (like so)
Shorty can't eat no book, what I told Ta-Nehesi Coates
The room was thick with smoke
CD changer had a remote, remote battery low
I laugh, 'cause sadly you think it's a joke
[Chorus: billy woods]
Told my children Western education is forbidden
Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin
No loose ends, took an acetylene torch to the filaments
Told my children Western education is forbidden
Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin
No loose ends, took an acetylene torch to the filaments
[Verse 2: billy woods]
Lines like Aikman in '95, whole team high
Plot twist, told Leon, "Lett me drive"
Took my sweet time, the scenic route
The leaf, kaffir lime
Hit police with crisp hand signals, then the peace sign
Wood burnin', we don't slice up this type of pie
Gears turnin', certain e'rything I learned in community college was a lie
Called him, the call's comin' from inside
Farenheit was set in '99, but it wasn't fire this time
The touch screen cold, glow, shine
Couldn't read a book if I tried
A failure of imagination, they say the treatment outpatient
E'rything outdated the day it come out
Hurtlin' down, the ground racin'
[Outro: FIELDED]
Release and stand
Or I'll let you flex
All these games are fruitless
You can take me, you can take me
But you'll never take my name
You can take me, you can take me
But you're just mining for my pain
Started light but they scarred and wifed
Oh freedom, oh freedom
The forceps or the grave
Oh freedom, oh freedom
Who's watchin' anyway
It's Crip hand signals.
YES! My fav track off the album
The best rapper in the world.
Dope as always
His most underrated single
Perfect timing. I needed a new Billy Woods video to bring me back down to sanity. Much love and respect big homie, you and ELUCID.

the cover art on the album is enough.. imma fan for life.. ✴️🤴🏿
My punctuation is gonna be probably off. Billy Thank You!!!
I like this song ALOT
THE ENIGMA RETURNS ON SCREEN
When Earl Sweatshirt said he was listening to Billy Woods, I knew he had to be good. Was not disappointed
Crazy cause that’s what put me onto him and armand hammer
Mas awesome.
Love from argentina.

Didn't intend to find this but the pen 🖊 game is crazy

This hard
Fielded is beautiful

🔥
he looked happy in this 1
A lot of y’all prob don’t even realize that he’s in Nigeria in the video
nah
"Lines like Aikman in '95"
the new GOAT
Holy shit
SALUTE
Closer and closer to the face reveal
couldn't read a book if i tried.
only dislike is UPS
My name is billy woods...
Nice villa . Watch out for fires. Not bullshit thou
The line "My advice don't stop rhyming , UPS not hiring" could be taken into context with Biggie's lines on flava in ya ear remix "Take 'em rhymes back to the factory...you're mad cause my style you're admirin' don't be mad , UPS is hirin'..." or i could be reaching lol😝
Def biggie inspired and flipped the woods way
Why does it say Haram in the beginning
wondering this too..
"The title is a reference to Boko Haram, an iteration of the Islamic State in Western Africa." makes sense, for a second i was wondering if these vocals were original over an alc beat for haram.. guess not..
Paas the ashtray ova hea
weird to see a shadow chillin by the beach
He is wearing hommy genes 😎
*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
We still don’t know what he looks like!? Have y’all ever seen his face?
You can see his face if u go find live footage of armand hammer or billy woods live
Is flow reminds me of earl sweatshirt
the Madvillain keeps rhyming
Boko Haram and Nigeria ….enlighten yourselves
Western Education created the sound machines and camera he used to make this.😆
It goes beyond that, decode the message
And also terrorism and colonialism
Thank you for all you’ve done for us Billy
